Our story
About Ando
Ando Craft is a small craft matcha and coffee roastery. We think good matcha and good coffee come down to the same things: careful farming, long relationships with growers, and not rushing the last few steps.
We buy matcha directly from family tea gardens in Uji, Kagoshima, and Kyoto, and green coffee from growers we know by name. Everything is milled or roasted in small lots here at the roastery.
Come by for a class, a cupping, or just a cup of coffee.
About our founder
Hiromi Leong first came to Hawai'i in 2020 with her husband, Josh Leong.
They hope to encourage a healthier lifestyle - less sugar, lighter choices, monk fruit instead of syrups. Something you can drink everyday and feel good about.
Blending her Japanese roots with Josh's San Francisco influence, ANDO became their expression of community, health and comfort. A space to support hardworking locals, host pop-ups, and create connection. Everything here - the atmosphere, the menu, the feeling - is designed with intention.
Our mission
At ANDO, our mission is to create drinks and experiences that support everyday well-being. We focus on lighter, thoughtfully made coffee and sugarless tea, clean ingredients, and balanced flavors you can enjoy daily and feel good about. Rooted in community, we aim to be a welcoming space that supports local creatives, celebrates collaboration, and offers moments of comfort and connection, all crafted with care and intention.
